Method and system for embedding content in editing area

Abstract

A method for solving a problem and a system thereof are provided. The method includes displaying, by a first terminal device, an embedding content search interface, which is included in a content authoring user interface for creating target content to be transmitted, displaying, by the first terminal device, an indicator of embedding content, determined by user input via the embedding content search interface, in an editing area in the content authoring user interface, transmitting, by the first terminal device, a body of the target content and metadata of the embedding content in response to receipt of input for a “Send” button in the content authoring user interface, and displaying, by a second terminal device, received content with the embedding content embedded therein, wherein the embedding content is embedded in the body of the target content by a server system.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A method of transmitting content, performed by a computing system, the method comprising:
 displaying, by a first terminal device, an embedding content search interface, which is included in a content authoring user interface for creating target content to be transmitted; 
 displaying, by the first terminal device, an indicator of embedding content, determined by user input via the embedding content search interface, in an editing area in the content authoring user interface; 
 transmitting, by the first terminal device, a body of the target content and metadata of the embedding content in response to receipt of input for a “Send” button in the content authoring user interface; and 
 displaying, by a second terminal device, received content with the embedding content embedded therein, 
 wherein the embedding content is embedded in the body of the target content by a server system, and 
 wherein original data of the embedding content does not exist in the first terminal device, and the original data of the embedding content is transmitted from the server system to the second terminal device, without passing through the first terminal device, at a time after the body of the target content and the metadata of the embedding content are transmitted from the first terminal device. 
 
     
     
       2. The method of  claim 1 , wherein the displaying the embedding content search interface comprises displaying an “Attach” button in the editing area and displaying the embedding content search interface in response to the “Attach” button being selected. 
     
     
       3. The method of  claim 2 , wherein the displaying the “Attach” button comprises displaying the “Attach” button, only when no content is input to a line where a cursor of the editing area is located. 
     
     
       4. The method of  claim 1 , wherein the embedding content search interface includes a content category choice area and a checkbox for whether to display the indicator of the embedding content in the body of the target content. 
     
     
       5. The method of  claim 4 , wherein
 the content category choice area includes a plurality of content category choices to choose from, 
 the indicator of the embedding content has a first appearance if the embedding content belongs to a first content category and has a second appearance if the embedding content belongs to a second content category, and 
 the second content category is different from the first content category. 
 
     
     
       6. The method of  claim 1 , wherein the displaying the indicator of the embedding content in the editing area comprises receiving metadata of the embedding content from the server system and displaying the indicator with the received metadata applied thereto in the editing area. 
     
     
       7. The method of  claim 6 , further comprising:
 automatically moving a cursor of the editing area below the indicator of the embedding content, after the displaying the indicator of the embedding content in the editing area. 
 
     
     
       8. The method of  claim 1 , wherein the indicator of the embedding content is a graphic element that cannot be edited. 
     
     
       9. The method of  claim 1 , wherein the transmitting the body of the target content and the metadata of the embedding content comprises transmitting the body of the target content and only the metadata of the embedding content. 
     
     
       10. The method of  claim 1 , wherein the displaying the indicator of the embedding content in the editing area comprises downloading only the metadata of the embedding content. 
     
     
       11. A method of transmitting content, performed by a computing system, the method comprising:
 displaying, by a first terminal device, an embedding content search interface, which is included in a content authoring user interface for creating target content to be transmitted and is for receiving a selection for embedding content to be attached to the target content; 
 transmitting, by the first terminal device, a body of the target content and metadata of the embedding content in response to receipt of input for a “Send” button in the content authoring user interface; and 
 displaying, by a second terminal device, received content with the embedding content attached thereto, 
 wherein the embedding content is attached by a server system to the target content, and 
 wherein original data of the embedding content does not exist in the first terminal device, and the original data of the embedding content is transmitted from the server system to the second terminal device, without passing through the first terminal device, at a time after the body of the target content and the metadata of the embedding content are transmitted from the first terminal device. 
 
     
     
       12. The method of  claim 11 , further comprising:
 displaying, by the first terminal device, an indicator of the embedding content, determined in accordance with user input via the embedding content search interface, in an editing area, which is included in the content authoring user interface. 
 
     
     
       13. The method of  claim 11 , wherein the displaying the embedding content search interface comprises downloading only the metadata of the embedding content in response to the embedding content being selected via the embedding content search interface. 
     
     
       14. A method of transmitting content, performed by a computing system, the method comprising:
 displaying, by a first terminal device, an embedding content search interface, which is included in a content authoring user interface for creating target content to be transmitted; 
 displaying, by the first terminal device, an attached file of attachment-containing content, determined by user input via the embedding content search interface, as an attachment candidate; 
 storing information on the attachment candidate as information on an attachment of the target content in response to receipt of a selection for the attachment candidate from a user of the first terminal device; and 
 displaying, by a second terminal device, received content with an attached file, 
 wherein the attachment of the target content is attached by a server system to the target content, and 
 wherein the attachment of the target content does not exist in the first terminal device.
